By the order of 28.08.2024, an ad-interim direction was issued to the respondent therein not to put up any construction in the suit schedule property till the next date of hearing.

3. Annexure-A to the contempt petition is Form IIIA issued by this Court wherein the suit schedule 'A' property and

HC-KAR

suit schedule 'B' property are mentioned. Both the suit schedule properties are situated in Survey No.110/2 of Dodderi Village, Thavarekere Hobli, Bengaluru South Taluk. An objection was filed by the accused on 27.09.2025 in which, inter alia it was stated that the Tahsildar, Bengaluru South Taluk had conducted the survey, mahazar and prepared the sketch and report which clearly disclosed that the accused had not encroached the land bearing Survey No.110/2 of Dodderi village.

It was further stated that accused was in lawful possession and enjoyment of the said property.

4. This Court on 06.03.2026 noted that the report of the Tahsildar did not clearly reflect whether the house property was being constructed on land falling in Survey No.110/2. The complainant's contention was noted that despite the interim order dated 28.08.2024, the accused had raised construction on suit Schedule 'B' property. The Tahsildar was requested to submit a clear report indicating whether any construction had

been carried out on the property noted therein. Today, the learned AGA has submitted the aforesaid affidavit of Ashwini G, the Tahsildar, paragraph Nos.6, 7 and 8 of which are as follows: "6.
